Resort Area Quick To Bounce Back From Strong Winter Storm

OCEAN CITY -- Despite high winds, pouring rain and heavy surf that pounded the region throughout much of Wednesday, the resort area was largely spared widespread damage and was relatively back to normal by Thursday morning.

While the storm lived up to its hype in terms of temporary impacts in and around the resort area, it was largely business as usual by Thursday morning with little evidence of the pounding rain and high winds that lashed Ocean City and much of Worcester County throughout Wednesday.

The predicted changeover from a classic Nor’easter to a snow storm did briefly occur late Wednesday evening, but the storm failed to live up to the hype on that side of the equation. By Thursday morning, the storm had passed and although heavy surf still pounded the beaches, the sun was shining as Ocean City crews began to assess the damage caused during the prior 24 hours or so. At the Inlet, bulldozers pushed mounds of sand that accumulated on the parking lot back onto the beach and other crews were seen around Ocean City repairing power lines and clearing debris.
